How is Field of View measured?
FOV stands for Field of View, which is the side-to-side width of the area you can see through an optical device, such as a binocular or rifle scope. Commonly the Field of View is expressed as the width, measured in feet, of the viewing area you would see at 1,000 yards, although other distances are sometimes used. Field of View is a function of the magnification power, distance, and physical design of the optical unit. The Field of View is a reference comparison; a larger field of view would expose the objective lens to light from a wider angle. In theory, this would produce a brighter image.
